The Super Eagles of Nigeria continue to face distressing conditions at Al Abraq Airport in Libya, where they have been stranded for over 16 hours. Captain Troost Ekong shared photos on social media, showing his teammates resting on chairs and struggling to cope with the situation.
The situation has sparked outrage among fans and commentators, who have taken to social media to voice their concerns. One user lamented that even local players deserve better treatment, urging the captain to stay strong. Another user recalled a similar incident involving Enyimba in 2022, where the team was stranded for 24 hours due to poor communication from their opponents.
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) made arrangements for transportation and accommodations, but the abrupt diversion of their flight led to a lack of support from the Libyan authorities. As players grow increasingly fatigued and frustrated, many fans are calling for the team to return home, emphasizing the need for better governance and support for Nigerian athletes.
